If the woman portrayed in the static picture is the same as the one in the youtube clip, then she got what she deserved. Overemphasizing the protection of one gender, particularly the female, to the exclusion of the other gender (not to mention the apotheosis of her ‘rights’ about the male and the children) is symptomatic of the double-mindedness of modernity. If the goal is to make the women of Iran or the Middle East as ‘free’ as those in America, then I pray the men in the Middle East become stricter and beat a few more. Isn’t it obvious that the American woman is out of control? For all the rhetoric of ‘liberation’ only one thing should be kept in mind–wait until the American woman sees the blowback that will occur in this country. It is coming and none too soon.
